				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'm late to this party but just wanted to say that the dress looks great on you.&#038;nbsp; I like all the shoe versions although the first taupe sandals are my favorite.&#038;nbsp; The black booties give it a bit of edge which could be a fun way to change up the look.
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hi Suz --&#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Another one late to the party (you're dressed for it!).&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Such a perfect dress on you; love how it manages to have an element of fun mixed with its natural elegance. Don't mind the shoe choices but predictability fall in line with Marilyn's preferences/suggestions.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Enjoy it starting NOW, please!&#038;nbsp;
&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I am too late here but how could I miss this? The dress is beautiful and the length is great - I found that when SOME of the skirt IN FRONT is abovethe knee but the back is longer it adds interest to the look while still being elegant.&#060;br /&#062;I prefer the first pair of sandals and in general would prefer a lighter footwear for this dress.&#060;br /&#062;I hope you keep it and enjoy and find many opportunities to wear it!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I love this dress, glad you are keeping it. &#038;nbsp;it feels, from a photos a bit loose in the waist but perhaps that is the style and the look you are going for? &#038;nbsp;I haven't read all the replies but I think the black shoes and the higher volume sandals in the first picture are both a touch too heavy and high contrast and they pull attention from your lower contrast features in your face. &#038;nbsp;The more open sandal puts the focus where it belongs.&#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;My vote would be for a more neutral shoe if high volume, or a strappy sandal that goes with airiness of the dress and your delicate features. a heel definitely seems needed given where the dress cuts above the knee. &#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;FWIW I think you could get away with leggings under this too on an airplane with ballet flats for a long flight. &#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;It's always so fun to get a thing we've been waiting for! congrats!&#038;nbsp;
&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Edited to add: I think you could also rock a denim jacket with this dress and a black fashion tennis shoe or chuck taylors, even a moto jacket with boots. very well done!&#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;Suz&#060;/b&#062;......I saw a SA at Club Monaco wearing this dress today.&#038;nbsp; Absolutely gorgeous!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;And FYI......I took a peek at Nordstom today for the Rebecca Taylor dress.&#038;nbsp; They did not have it.&#038;nbsp;&#038;nbsp; However, none of the RT dresses were as nice as the CM you just got.&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;This dress looks like it was made for you, Suz! The print, style, length, fit, EVERYTHING is perfect. I predict much wear and zero boredom from this one. A winner wardrobe item.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Beautiful dress on a beautiful woman. &#038;nbsp;Win/Win. &#038;nbsp;The length is just right in the front because it is longer in the back. &#038;nbsp;I like the lighter shoes with this dress because they lengthen the leg. &#038;nbsp;The darker shoes hold the eye with a sudden stop sign and I just want to flow from head to toe and beyond. &#038;nbsp;This is a dancing dress!&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'm really happy you are keeping the dress because it is so pretty on you. There is something about the edgy print and the feminine cut that is just so perfect.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;&#060;b&#062;Sharan&#060;/b&#062;, good idea. You're right I try to avoid completely flat because they aren't comfy for me, but I do have 1/2 inch wedge or almost flat sandals. I'll give those a go and see. I think it might work, too.&#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I actually think this dress could work with hose in cooler temps, along with a topper, of course. So who knows? Maybe I'll even try it with booties, proper.&#038;nbsp;&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Suz, I agree with everyone. You look fabulous in the dress. I like the taupe sandals and the black booties equally well--great Septemberizing! &#060;br /&#062;What about a flat sandal as an option, too? I think it would work with the above-knee hem in the front. Although come to think of it, you don't wear flat sandals. But a lower one, anyway, is worth a try.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;You look so amazing in this dress that when I first looked through the photos I didn't even notice the shoes! However, on second look, I definitely prefer the first pair of shoes with the dress alone. With the jacket, I like the black - the heaviness of the shoes balances the black jacket to me. I am so glad you have worn it and are keeping it!
